“If you meet with difficulties in your
work, or suddenly doubt your abilities,
think of him… and you will find the
confidence you need. If you feel tired
in an hour when you should not, think
of him… and your work will go well. If
you are seeking a correct decision,
think of him… and you will find that
decision.”
What is the
Purpose of
Prayer?
The purpose of prayer is
to know God.
Richard Foster
“In prayer, real prayer,
we begin to think
God’s thoughts after
Him: to desire the
things He desires, to
love the things He
loves, to will the things
He wills.”
Yes, everything else is
worthless when
compared with the
infinite value of knowing
Christ Jesus my Lord.
QUIETLY
“Be still, and know
that I am God!”
Latin, “Vacate”
“God is inviting us to take a
break, to play truant. We can
stop doing all those important
things we have to do in our
capacity as God, and leave it
to Him to be God.”
~ Simon Tugwell
Meister Eckhart
“The quieter the
mind, the more
powerful, the
worthier, the deeper,
the more telling and
more perfect the
prayer is.”
QUIETLY
HUMBLY
“God opposes the
proud but favours
the humble.”
“Two men went to the Temple to pray.
One was a Pharisee, and the other
was a despised tax collector. The
Pharisee stood by himself and prayed
this prayer: ‘I thank you, God, that I
am not a sinner like everyone else.
For I don’t cheat, I don’t sin, and I
don’t commit adultery. I’m certainly
not like that tax collector! I fast
Twice a week, and I give you a tenth
of my income.’
“But the tax collector stood at a
distance and dared not even lift his
eyes to heaven as he prayed.
Instead, he beat his chest in sorrow,
saying, ‘O God, be merciful to me, for
I am a sinner.’ I tell you, this sinner,
not the Pharisee, returned home
justified before God. For those who
exalt themselves will be humbled,
and those who humble themselves
will be exalted.”
QUIETLY
HUMBLY
CONSTANTLY
Never stop praying.
“To saints their
very slumber is
a prayer.”
Saint Jerome
“Prayer takes none of
our time, but it occupies
all of our time.”
~ Unknown
Richard Foster
“We must never be
discouraged by our lack of
prayer. Even in our
prayerlessness we can
hunger for God. If so, the
hunger itself is prayer… In
time, the desire will lead to
practice, and practice will
increase the desire.”
QUIETLY
HUMBLY
CONSTANTLY
PERSISTENTLY
“Suppose you went to a friend’s
house at midnight, wanting to borrow
three loaves of bread. You say to
him, ‘A friend of mine has just arrived
for a visit, and I have nothing for him
to eat.’ And suppose he calls out from
his bedroom, ‘Don’t bother me. The
door is locked for the night, and my
family and I are all in bed. I can’t
help you.’ But I tell you this—though
he won’t do it for friendship’s sake, if
you keep knocking long enough, he
will get up and give you whatever you
need because of your shameless
persistence.”

Richard Foster
“Don’t be afraid to
bring all that you are
to God. We pray as
we can, not as we
can’t.”
Philip Yancey
“Prayer makes room
for the unspeakable,
those secret
compartments of
shame and regret
that we seal away
from the outside
world.”
C.S. Lewis
“We must lay
before Him what is
in us, not what
ought to be in us.”
“People judge by outward
appearance, but the Lord
looks at the heart.”
